Reconversion Director John R.
Steelman warned the public that ! the breakdown in livestock slaugh- j tering threatens a serious shortage j of. shoe leather. He said leather exports will have to be cut to the bone and the United States will have to resume imports of foreign I hides if i.:ie people are to be properly shod this winter.
Tlie gravity of the meat crisis, which has become a major election issue for both Republicans and Democrats, was underscored by the army's move to obtain meat frcm Britain.
The war department said Britain was expected to deliver the beef—bought from Argentina and Australia — to U. S. occupation forces abroad early next month.
The meat W’ill be repaid pound for pound next February if the deal goes through.
British government spokesmen in London said the loan would be made “provided certain conditions now under review are agreed on.
Argentine meat, except for cer-ta n canned varieties, is not allowed in the United States. Tlie armv> borrowed beef, however, would be used exclusively for American troops outside this country.
Suspended during the war years, the Rhodes scholarships are once again being offered. Dr. Frank L. Baxter, professor of English announced yesterday. Men appointed this fall will begin their work at Oxford in October, 1947.
Quality of distinction in intellect, character, personality, or in any combination of them is the impDr-tant requirement for a Rhodes scholarship. Financial need will not constitute a special claim for consideration.
As the majority of Rhodes scholars obtain their degrees in two years, scholarship appointments will be made • for two years at the University of Oxford. Scholarship funds are fixed at approximately $1632 a year.
A meeting to discuss the Rhodes scholai^hips will be held in Administration 206, at 3:15 p.m. Thursday. Dr. Baxter urges all interested male students to attend but warns that competition will be stiff. A Rhodes candidate, apart from other requirements, should have a high B average or better.
Information from the Rhodes Trust has been posted on the bulletin board in the arcade of the Administration building.
USAAF Plans World-Girdling Bomber Flight
Mass Flight to Show How B-29fc May A?d UN as Police Force
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (UP) —The army plans to send a flight of giant B-29 bombers around the world within the next few weeks to test the long range striking power of the American air arm, Assist-tant Secretary of War for Air W. Stuart Symington announced today.
The mass flight, he told a press conference, also will be a demonstration of the role the B-29s could play as a law-enforcing arm of the United Nations.
Symington also revealed that the army air forces have been given full control of th s country’s guided missile envelopment, a military field of top importance in which army airmen and ground forces had been competing for many months.
In announcing the USAAF'S globe-girdling plans, he said the final decision hinges on approval from the state department. He appeared confident, however, that the state department, which has sent Amer can warships cruising in the eastern Mediterranean to back up its foreign policy declarations, would give the go-ahead for the aerial demonstration.
A department spokesman confirmed this to some extent. He said the department had raised no objection but that further conversations will be held with the . army when a specific route is. established.

Holt Explains Goals Of New Men s Group

In its first year of existence. Associated Men Students has set as its minimum goal the organisation of the group into a, functioning representation of the will and interests of men students. Beyond this it is subject to certain limitations which are fully recognized by Joe Holt, AMS president.
“Initial difficulty lies in the fact
that AMS has no precedent as a basis fcr its activities," contends Holt. ‘‘In attempting to supervise or plan various functions, we come into conflict with organizations which have supervised them in the past. For that reason, we can only hope to establish precedents which the group may be able to use to advantage in the future.” SMALL-SCALE WORK In consequence, much of AMS work, other than organization, is being done on a small scale, and

Film Society Reorganizes
Before the war Delta Kappa Alpha, honorary mens’ cinema fraternity, had Hollywood cameramen and directors as honorary members, and a sizable list of actives. In 1941. however, it had to be discontinued when the various services needed cameramen and technicians more than the SC cinema department.
Now the men are back, and under the guidance of Herbert; Farmer, faculty adviser, are planning monthly open meetings v.ith speakers from the movie industry, field trips to the various studios, a photo contest, and student lilm productions.
To speed the growth of the fraternity, new members will be chosen from applicants among cinema classes. They will not be required, as formerly, to submit a written project on some phase of moviemaking.
Newly elected officers, all former members and assistant instructors, are Gene Moriarty, president; Don Duke, vice-president; Hal Albert, secretary, and Mel Sloan, treasurer.

In its first year of existence. Associated Men Students has set as its minimum goal the organisation of the group into a, functioning representation of the will and interests of men students. Beyond this it is subject to certain limitations which are fully recognized by Joe Holt, AMS president.
